I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

    News and Activities Of the Mid-Hudson Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club TRAILS www.midhudsonadk.org Summer 2013 July - August MHADKer’s LEARN IMPORTANCE OF WILDERNESS FIRST AID TRAINING: INCIDENT ON SCHAGHTICOTE MT. (Thanks to Lalita Malik for sharing this important information) It was a glorious April day, perfect for hiking. The Mid Week Hikers planned to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail from Bulls Bridge to Rt. 341, in Kent. As I packed my back pack for the hike, I decided to switch to my smaller, summer pack. With less capacity, I had to remove some stuff from my pack. All winter I had carried my full first aid kit in my pack with emergency blanket, splint, triangular bandages etc. I decided I did not need all that equipment for the 7.5 mile hike, 15 miles from home. So, I removed most of my first aid kit and kept stuff required to treat scratches and bug bites, which is what we normally have on our hikes. I also ditched my tablet with the GPS and topographic maps I usually car- ried. We had a small group, Al Limone, Lenore Bruce, Nancy Vodrazka Pat Conroy, and Ramesh Naik. We took the largest car, Ramesh’s wagon, to the trail head (end) on Rt. 341 to use at the end of our hike and started our hike from Bull’s bridge. We started climbing up the hill to the viewpoint, then over to the NY Connecticut border. I was leading, Pat was sweeping. We stopped for lunch and continued hiking on the rolling ridge.

    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
